The Lights and Planets
This simple concept can be very useful as you interpret
the planets in a chart, especially if you are having
problems or questions concerning a particular planet. In
the module on esoteric astrology this concept is gone
into in much greater detail, as it relates to spiritual
awakening; here, however, we have presented it more
simply. To recap: the key to better understanding any
planet is to be found in the next innermost planet. The
inner is the key to the outer. Now, let's take a look at the
inner planets.
Earth and the Inner Planets
The inner planets are Mercury and Venus, and they are
termed inner because they exist inside the orbit of Earth.
In an esoteric sense, they are a part of our inner life and
do not have as much to do with our external or outer life.
By saying that they represent our inner life, we mean
just that: look to find the influence and nature of Mercury
and Venus within yourself and not somewhere outside
